A review of the impact of the cold-ion and cold-electron populations in the Earth's
magnetosphere is presented. The cold populations are defined by total energy less than …

In the past decades, laboratory experiments have contributed significantly to the exploration
of the fundamental physics of space plasmas. Since 1908, when Birkeland invented the first …

A numerical method is developed for coupling a multi-species kinetic plasma model with a 5
N-moment multi-fluid plasma model. The simulation domain is decomposed such that the …

It is known that Earth's atmosphere and geomagnetic field affect the propagation of an
artificial electron beam; many previous studies have neglected the effect of their variation on …

Ground‐based very low frequency (VLF) transmitters located around the world generate
signals that leak through the bottom side of the ionosphere in the form of whistler mode …

A simple sensor is described to measure satellite potentials. The proposed instrument
consists of two small spherical Langmuir probes biased to different fixed voltages, from …

The first demonstration of rocket exhaust driven amplification (REDA) of whistler mode
waves occurred on May 26, 2020 by transferring energy from pickup ions in a rocket exhaust …

The fundamental processes responsible for energy exchange between large-scale
electromagnetic fields and plasma are well understood theoretically, but in practice these …

The long-distance stable transport of relativistic electron beams (REBs) in plasmas is
studied by full three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. Theoretical analysis shows that …

The emission of artificial electron beams causes an active spacecraft charging effect that
poses challenges for electron beam sounding experiments. Plasma contactors have been …
